Find Ancestors

* Susan from W Yorks* Hi Susan, Sorry sweetheart, but there is only one Brampton on the disc's ... so it MUST be the same place. Maybe they had gone into one of the neighbouring villages ? but trawling would take ages. Elaine :-)

Hi Elaine I am impressed! Went there yesterday but the cafe was shut! Regards Robin

Hi Elaine Sorry should have given the district as OLD BRAMPTON Is it possible you could have a look for the Higginbottom's and the Bennet's I gave you again please,must have had a Senior moment. Thanks very much for taking the time looking for my Higginbottom's and Bennett's. I don't think the Bennett's you have found are my family that I was looking for. Thanks once again Sue

Thanks Elaine, I have sent you an e-mail via GR, but if it is too big a job, I quite understand if you haven't the time to trawl through all those pages!! Amazing, I didn't realise how big an area Glossop was population wise. Many thanks for looking, Margaret

* Margaret in Lancashire Drysdale* Margaret, I have just gone to have a look for you ... but I'm staggered ... Glossop is covered by 736 pages ... so it will take a while. All I can say is that I will have a look over the next few days to a week, in between other lookups. I will get in touch with you direct, as soon as I have a result. Please bear with me. I WILL look through all of Glossop for you, it may take some time though. Elaine :-)

Elaine ****** Thanks for the info I have sent a contact mail. Mike

*Susan from W Yorks* Sorry...NO Higginbottom's in the Brampton area. John Bennett = 2: Page 546 of 645; John Bennett 35 Alice 30 Hannah 3 Amelia 3 Israil 2mths all b Derbyshire, living in Brampton Page 537 of 645; John Bennett 54 Sarah 57 John 20 Sarah 14 John Bennett 80 (same household) There are NO Jemima Bennett's in the Brampton area. If you think either of the above John Bennett's belong to you, please send me message with your e.mail addy and I will get the image and send it to you. Haven't saved them. Need Page info that I have provided with details as well. Elaine :-)

Hi Elaine, In the vain hope that you can help me trace my illusive great grandfather, here goes!! John William Woodruff, born Glossop c 1833. Father (on marriage certificate) Edward Woodruff. I have no other details of his family before 1860 when he married in Ireland!! He was a soldier from 1856 and only gave 'Native of Glossop' on his Discharge Papers, so not much help there. If you can't find him, I quite understand, as it is a bit vague. Here's hoping. Margaret

Cheers babe Will try and locate death for William and tie up that loose end! Lou

* Michael Alton * Hi Michael, Alfreton is a big place to search, so please bear with me, I will try and get to your Abigail & John Walters tomorrow. However, if you send me your e.mail addy, then I have found your Alton's in Sth Wingfield. I have saved image for you. Please remind me in message who you are looking for, as I get so many I won't know ! Thomas Alton 48 Rebecca Alton 40 Mary 15 Elizabeth 14 William 7 Elaine :-)

Hi Lou, Good news is ...I've found yours ... bad news is, you didn't mention William aged 2 !!!!!!!!!!! E.mail on its way with attachment ... just give me a few minutes ... I have that many windows open at the moment, PC is getting heated from overload !!!!!!! Elaine :-)

Hi Elaine Could I be cheeky and ask for another look up please. John Bennett head collier Sorry don't know his wifes name Jemima Bennett dau born about 1822 Sorry I have no more info on this family ADDRESS Upper Moor St Brampton Derbyshire Thanks for all your help. Sue

Hi Lou, Yes, I believe Burton IS Staffordshire ... but will check the disc's as soon as I am able ..if its Derbyshire then I will let you know. No news means Staffordshire.! Elaine :-)

Elaine, It's so nice to hear someone being so proud of where they live, so what that you coudn;t find my ancestors? I have been trying for years to find them!!!! Just enjoy living where you are..............and say hello to the Derbyshire Moors for me Anne...x

Hi Elaine Thank you for your kind offer to do look ups. Could you please look for Joseph Higginbottom head born about 1791 Sarah Higginbottom wife born about 1796 William Higginbottom son born about 1817 Nancy Higginbottom dau born about 1821 James Higginbottom son born about 1822 Joseph Higginbottom son born about 1824 Hannah Higginbottom dau born about 1829 Sarah Higginbottom dau born about 1831 ADDRESS Shaw's Row Brampton Derbyshire. Thanks Sue

thanks for trying elaine its much appreciated

Hi Elaine My gt gt gt grandfather John Alton bn 1764 Alfreton married Abigail Walters bn 1772 Alfreton They married in Alfreton 1793 I wondered if there is any record of them on the 1841 census. Also Thomas Alton bn 15 March 1796 Alfreton married Rebecca Slater bn 1797 South Wingfield they married 1819 South Wingfield I wondered if there was any record of these two ancestors on the 1841 census I have been struggling with these for some time with very little return. any info would be much appreciated Elaine. Mike

I'm impatient....but only if you have the time! Brailsford (that is ALL it says on the cert, no addie) Charles Hulland approx 31 Ann Hulland approx 30 William Hulland approx 8 George Hulland approx 4 POSSIBLY Charles Hulland, not sure what part of 1841 he was born. Burton is Staffordshire for census, yes? Ta babe Lou x

* Pamela Pass * I've checked all of Whittington .. and although there are a few Woodhouse families, the nearest I could find was on a VERY faint page and I think thats it only wishful thinking that I could POSSIBLE make William & Elizabeth look like John & Eliza. I wish I had better news. So sorry. Elaine :-)

*** Anne*** Derbyshire is such a beautiful county, folks moved about a LOT, not wanting to miss any part of it !!! Although the industry has now brought may industrial sites, I think the beauty of the countryside must have been a thousand times better back in 1841 ... and its mostly nice enough now ! Elaine :-)
